-I have to add: Ekaterina just danced ALL THREE leads from Balanchine’s “Jewels”; that is insanely difficult and so impressive. Amazing.

“Ballerina! What a term! I suppose I’m a ballerina. I dance all the time. I sew my shoes in the evening. It doesn’t matter what they call me. It’s the same with reviews. I don’t worry about them—good, bad—it’s the same to me. I get pleasure from dancing. I feel myself happy. I was born to give people happiness on the stage.”
